Because he would have to reveal his information, and revealing the information would reveal the SOURCES.
Moussaoui's judge is trying to force the government to reveal where it is getting its information on him, something the government clearly does not want to do, nor should it.

Your comparing apples to watermellons. Now I completely understand protecting sources and methods, more than you realize. However, Moussaoui's has been charged and is being tried by a US COURT! By the laws of the United States as provided for by the Constitution of the United States. I can understand why the US Attorney is doing what he he doing. In the case of Abdullah Al Mujahir a US Citizen who is being detained without being charged and has now been turned over to DOD with no Military Tribunal established is a hold different story. The US Attorney in the Moussaoui case has formal charges.
So what is the real story with Abdullah Al Mujahir?
